Kinda, but you still have to right click on the BPM "box"; there is an input box there at the top of the dropdown where you can enter in a value. There is also a tap tempo MIDI setting but that is about as good as hitting the space bar.

In addition to what Aaron wrote, there are a few MIDI-related ways to set BPM. However this is really where BEYOND shines much more. There are many ways to externally and automatically set BPM in BEYOND including several external timecode options.
